Online
Collaborative Assessment to Enhance Teaching and Learning |
|
This sub-project aims to establish
students' approaches to, and students' views on,
on-line collaborative assessment while they are
following a course which is partially delivered
on-line.
Specific objectives of the sub-project are:
-
To monitor and evaluate students'
approaches to on-line collaborative assessment.
-
To investigate students'
attitudes towards on-line collaborative assessment.
-
To evaluate the effectiveness of
on-line collaborative assessment in addressing
subject objectives from both teacher and student
perspectives.

Highlights of Project Outcome
-
The value of interactive,
engaging and assessed learning tasks integrated into
the curriculum to promote online learning is
confirmed.
-
The respective roles of teacher
and learner in online learning need to be defined at
the outset and closely monitored during the process.
-
Attendance in the online learning
platform was 100%.
-
Learning was independent,
interactive, collaborative, and active.
-
Learners have become much more
critical in applying subject knowledge to solving
problems in the online discussion tasks.
Some typical comments from students:
- "I think I could apply this self-learning to
other subjects too"
- "I learn how to improve my own work through
critically reviewing that of others"
- "I learned how to give critical comments and
suggestions. It is a good opportunity for me to
learn, interpret and implement theories"
- "A valuable experience in which we can give
critical feedback to others' work and raise
problems concerning the subject matter"
- "We are encouraged to be motivated in
self-learning"
- "I really love the way that we can discuss and
exchange our ideas with others"
